The Keys to Defensive Driving
Put on your seatbelt
In most places in the world, driving without wearing a seatbelt is illegal.[3] Seatbelts greatly reduce the possibility of serious injury or death if you happen to be involved in an accident.
Drive defensively
Driving defensively is a very important concept that too many drivers either take for granted or don’t understand. Driving defensively will help save you money
Adjust the seat
You can adjust your seat forward and backward, as well as up and down. Some cars will have electronic controls
Hold both hands on the steering
Especially for beginners, do not try to hold the steering wheel with only one hand, because it is you are more likely to lose control of the car, which could cause an accident.
Adjust your car's mirrors
Your car should have three mirrors: one rear-view mirror, which allows you to see directly the rear windshield behind you, and two outside mirrors which let you see to either side of the car and protect you from blind spots
Stay a healthy distance
How far you should stay behind the car in front of you depends on how fast you are traveling. You want to give yourself two to five seconds to react, depending on your comfort level.
